A record year for arrivals

Costa Rica’s tourism institute (ICT) recorded a record 2,661,488 international arrivals by air in 2024, up 7.7% on 2023. About seven in ten came from the United States, and Guanacaste’s Daniel Oduber airport grew 14.5%.

Most of these visitors move between two or three regions, booking a new stay at each stop. Being visible in the right region is what gets you on their route.
